Part I of this paper (Engineering History and Heritage, 2009) dealt with the Stone Committee Report as a solution to the problem of failure of HAC Concrete in structures. This part discusses the reasons why the problems arose: in a nutshell, ignorance of the behaviour of HAC and relentless pressure to sell HAC as a problem-free material.
